Chapter 6: Splurge
The sun rises in the clouds, but there is a mist in the palace.
The goods from all the shops were sent to the house, and the delivery person only said that they were placed by King Jin's mansion, and the items were sent to wait for the checkout.
Qin Ke was in charge of the affairs of the house, and when he went to the hall, the goods were piled up and overcrowded.
"What the hell is going on?" Qin Ke didn't know the truth.
"Princess, the younger one is the second ...... of Rouge Zhai"
"Princess, the villain is the latest jade pendant to give to the Treasure Pavilion......"
"Princess, I am the shopkeeper of Gu Pinzhai, and I sent this century-old guqin. ”
Aunt Feng and Aunt Wei also heard that the merchants in the house came in and out and sent a lot of good things, so they couldn't rest at ease and rushed to find out.
Qin Ke figured out what happened, there was a woman who squandered in various shops and ordered them to be sent to the palace.
"Oops!" Aunt Feng saw this brocade and silk outside the door, and her eyes lit up, "Is this palace a happy event approaching?"
Aunt Feng fell into the bright treasure, but Aunt Wei was calm and puzzled.
"You two came just in time, these waits, did you ask the shop to send them?" Qin Ke asked.
"My sister hasn't been out of the house today. Aunt Wei replied.
"My sister has also been in the mansion all the time, but who put these good things?" Aunt Feng had an idea, "Could it be that the prince bought it for us?"
Just as Qin Ke was worried about this headless public case, the mastermind behind the scenes was swaying and belated.
"It's a fool's dream that the concubine room is also worthy of such a valuable treasure. ”
Hearing his voice first, An Ronghua walked into the hall, and the merchants crowded up.
"Is that you?" Aunt Feng heard An Ronghua's sarcasm, "What do you say about me? Concubine, what are you?"
"Did I say something wrong, you're just a concubine?"
"You ......"
Aunt Feng was speechless and speechless to refute, only her face was full of anger.
"Dare to say that the mourning family is a fox spirit, and you should be punished by the nine clans. An Ronghua raised his eyebrows disdainfully, thinking in his heart.
An Ronghua was obviously indifferent, and walked straight to Qin Ke.
"Princess Jin, you will take care of the accounts of the palace, these are what I like, settle the accounts for them for me. ”
An Ronghua said very reasonably, but she heard Qin Ke's inner stalk, she was the concubine of the palace, how could she be trampled under the feet of an inexplicable woman.
"Princess Jin, I know what you're thinking, but you see these mercenary businessmen, they don't deliver goods to me, but to the palace, if you let them return with their things intact, it will be lost, but the reputation of the palace, the face of the prince. An Ronghua whispered to Qin Ke secretly.
An Ronghua's words cut off Qin Ke's doubts, even if she couldn't tolerate An Ronghua's misdeeds, she had to take Xia Huaijin's face into account.
"Official, take them to the account office and settle the bill. ”
"Sister Princess, these are all hers?" Aunt Feng said excitedly.
Qin Ke didn't want to speak, turned around and was about to go out, but An Ronghua called: "Princess Jin stays." ”
An Ronghua picked up a brocade embroidered gold silk brocade box, and when he opened it, it was a dazzling gold background inlaid with jade beads and phoenix hairpins, which blinded Aunt Feng's big eyes.
"The prince is the uncle of the current Holy Emperor, the closest brother of the first emperor, with a noble status and incomparable honor. As a princess, you are not even worthy of a pair of decent phoenix hairpins for so many years, those who know think that the princess is diligent and thrifty, and those who don't know think that the palace is poor and even the prince treats her harshly. Beauty and ugliness are destined, but people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, if the princess is too shabby, isn't it also the loss of the prince's face? So I made my own decision and chose this pair of phoenix hairpins to give to Princess Yu Jin. ”
An Ronghua's earnest words made Qin Ke feel heartbroken, and she glanced back at the phoenix hairpin that An Ronghua said and gifted, it was so luxurious and dazzling.
But Qin Ke turned her head and didn't accept it, she was a princess, so she couldn't be humiliated.
"Yuhe, bring it for the princess. An Ronghua gave an order, and Yuhe had to obey in fear.
Aunt Wei looked at everything, thinking that this valley girl was not as beautiful as she imagined, but if she was coquettish and indulgent, she didn't know the depths, and it didn't seem to be like this?
Aunt Feng was angry, and she couldn't get used to seeing An Ronghua's empty eyes.
"And the two of you, although they are only concubines, they are also the prince's women, and I don't want to be too rude when I first arrive, a small greeting gift. ”
An Ronghua gave Aunt Feng a flawless high-grade fox skin, and the anger in her eyes was immediately replaced by surprise, but she still endured it a little.
"These are the money paid by the palace, and I deserve it!" Aunt Feng snatched the fox skin.
"Yes, human skin is one. An Ronghua said with a smile, but Aunt Feng only cared about the treasure in her hand.
An Ronghua instead picked a jade bead chain with good quality and workmanship and gave it to Aunt Wei, she took it with a smile and thanked her.
"Thank you, Sister Gu. ”
"I heard that jade can clear the heart, if the mind is heavy, it is easy to make people age, and jade can protect people's youthful appearance. ”
Aunt Wei's smile froze, no matter whether An Ronghua's words were intentional or unintentional, whether she was scheming or arrogant, she remembered it.
After Qin Ke settled An Ronghua's expenses, he couldn't help frowning and sighed deeply.
"Princess, this account ......" The housekeeper frowned, not knowing what to say.
Xia Huaijin scattered the dynasty and looked back on this solemn court, and he had long lost the demeanor of the queen mother's tongue and ministers, and Xia Huaijin had lost even the opportunity to watch from afar.
The court is boring, but Xia Huaijin is still in the wind and rain, and he only dares to be outside the Shou'an Palace, thinking about it stupidly.
Xia Huaijin turned around and wanted to leave, but the emperor's personal little eunuch called him.
"The prince stays!"
The emperor privately met Xia Huaijin in the side hall, and what he did was still the queen mother's trip.
"Minister......
"Uncle Wang doesn't have to be polite!" Xia Bingwen was very anxious, "Uncle Wang, I still don't worry about the queen mother going out alone, but if I secretly send someone to follow, it will make the queen mother angry, Uncle Wang, what should I do?"
"The emperor is relieved, the minister has secretly sent people from the palace to the Peach Blossom Nunnery last night, and he will be able to protect the safety of the queen mother. ”
"Uncle Wang is really more thoughtful than me!" Xia Bingwen said comfortably.
Xia Huaijin secretly sent people to take care of this matter, one was worried about the safety of the Queen Mother's travel, and the other was out of incomplete trust in Gu Nu.
It was not early for Xia Huaijin to return to the palace, and Qin Ke had been waiting outside the house for a long time.
"Lord Wang, the concubine has something to discuss with the prince. Qin Ke said.
"Go in and say. ”
Qin Ke prepared a meal, sat with Xia Huaijin, and served him first.
"What does the princess want to rent from this king?" Xia Huaijin asked.
"Lord Wang, please atone for the sin of lax housekeeping in the concubine!" Qin Ke knelt down and asked.
"You get up first, and then tell the king what happened?"
Qin Ke got up with a sad face, as if he was still hesitant.
Not remembering the outside, Yuhe waited alone, and saw An Ronghua carrying a few boxes of snacks from a distance, approaching with a smile on his face.
"Is the princess inside?" An Ronghua asked.
"When the prince returns from the next dynasty, it is ......natural for the mother to serve and eat," Yuhe didn't dare to look at An Ronghua directly.
An Ronghua turned his head and rolled his eyes, swept past Yuhe and entered the courtyard.
"The prince commanded, do not remember the residence, do not allow idle people to come and go. Yuhe stopped.
"Miscellaneous people, waiting, waiting, waiting, An Ronghua entered without looking back.
An Ronghua originally thought that the pastry tasted pretty good, and planned to share the same taste with Xia Huaijin, but he didn't expect that if he came, there might be an unexpected gain.
"Qin Ke, Qin Ke, presumably I am counting my crimes in front of Huai Jin at this time, right?" An Ronghua sighed with a smile.
